Could you forgive someone who shot you?

[tracilicious]

I think for myself, I would have an easier time forgiving something that was done to me than something that was done to a loved one. I don't see forgiveness in the foreseeable future for the man that started beating my niece at six weeks old, but I could probably forgive an idiot that fired a gun and accidentally shot me.

I think intent has a large part to do with ease of forgiveness.
